No, it’s not an STI, but it is the next best thing. Subaru’s newest top-tier WRX—the tS (which stands for tuned by STI)—brings some welcome additions to the WRX lineup for 2025.

This newest trim level of the WRX is part of a revised lineup that saw the base model WRX get nixed. Subaru has said that only a small percentage of WRX buyers opted for the base model, with most drivers happy to splurge on the higher spec options.
